Outside, guards are still standing at their posts. But inside Evin it is empty, says KI researcher Djalali's wife Vida Mehrannia, who managed to speak to her husband on the phone.
He said they have no food. The guards locked the door and left only some bread and water.
The conversation was short and interrupted several times. However, Djalali's testimony is consistent with several reports that have come to light about the conditions of prisoners in Iran during the war.
Still, he said the food was not the biggest problem; the problem is that they are afraid and locked up while they hear the attacks all around them, says Vida Mehrannia, who lives in Sweden.
Several attacks have been carried out near Evin Prison, which houses many political prisoners and is located in the northern part of Tehran. During the twelve-day war between Iran and Israel last year, the facility was attacked.
Djalali has been imprisoned in Iran since 2016 and is sentenced to death. He received Swedish citizenship in 2018.
Vida Mehrannia says she has been in contact with the Swedish government, which, according to her, has said nothing can be done about his situation.
TT is seeking comment from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
